Very interesting debate here between a High Court applicant white dude and a black politician.
Racism is real brehs and we are losing the battle. Cacs still feel Racism doesnt exist
why are we "losing" the battle?
I'd say that whites have learned to effectively maneuver around accusations of racism while still saying and believing racist things. Combine that with the apathy of many African Americans, and you have a potential mess on our hands.

this battle they can never win..
the only thing they can do is ignor the battle if we allow it to..
they are just prolonging the L with silly tactics
at best.. at white man will take down the white man's racism "again"
but they already lost that battle.. and if we didnt have this many young black kid stuck with the ghetto mentality killing each other over meaningless territorial beef.(yes i know they got setup by the gouverment)
we could have won that battle a while back..
all they do is use delay tactics on us... but we never fought this hard since the panther days... thanks to social media, we dont have to be in the same room to fight...we will win this for sure.
what they say and believe is whatever to me, it's what they DO, or even what they are DOING, that is the bigger problem.
to me, and I wish more ppl felt this way, words are meaningless without the actions behind them. Someone can call me any fukkin name in the book, say anything they want to my face, and I'll just shrug it off. Now if you wanna try and stop me from living my life (getting a job, getting a loan, going to school, arrest me, etc.)...well then there is a different issue.
Because of systematic racism, white people's words carry more weight in society. Actions are important (as we saw this past Saturday in Charlottesville), but words are important in a different way.
White people have the power to not just speak, but frame the conversation to their liking, and shut down a conversation if they don't like where it's going.
It's an effective tactic, for example, when you're just watching/listening to Fox & Friends, but I dare you to read a transcript of a F&F taping and watch your head explode at how idiotic the flow of conversation is. This is why words matter and are worth re-examining.
those are actions, and that is what I'm referring to. Using propaganda is also an action used to influence and intimidate.
What I was mostly referring to is the pettiness ppl get caught up in that is pointless. Name calling and all that back to back shyt isn't worth getting in trouble over.
also, I don't watch Fox (or MSNBC or CNN for that matter), I don't waste my time with watching any of that nonsense. I see no point giving time to that drivel.

The [rhetorical] push back against Trump and his waffling statements have been fairly strong. Even Sessions bytch ass admitted the Charlottesville incident met the standard of domestic terrorism. The maneuvering around calling racists racist has always been there and these cowards don't have to courage to try most black folks in public.
History shows that this shyt always happens when African-Americans gain progress:
- After slavery we got a failed Reconstruction resulting in Jim Crow and most of these confederate monuments being but up.
- After the Civil Rights Movement we got redlining, housing discrimination, white flight from urban areas, and the War on Drugs.
- After Barrack Obama we get the least qualified and one of the most overtly white nationalist presidents since Woodrow Wilson.
